same for me

It didn't occur to me to PM the organisers to ask if there were alternatives , and I'm sure that it didn't occur to zvezda as well.

Having said that, I wouldn't cancel all my plans over a minor logistical incident involving one dinner. Its Bali, its a long weekend, and there are plenty of other opportunities to hang out with crazy, jetlagged FTers
i had the same problem, and i did add new cards to my papyal account but i still havent got my new pins to active the cards in my account.

so i cant use paypal atm.

i think too, skipping the mozaic dinner is a bit overreacting, but as zvesda seems to join the dinner in singapore with flamboyrant and others, he is hopefully spending a good time somewere else.

as i am now 3 days in bali, i cant clearly say it is a mistake not coming here, as it is wonderful.
